Fall Protection: Fall Restraint (3 of 6)

This six-part video highlights the need for fall protection systems in the workplace. With dramatic footage of accidents and animation, it outlines the steps needed to develop safe work practices when working from heights. (1994)

Fall restraint systems prevent falls by keeping
the worker from reaching a fall hazard. While fall
restraint systems are not mentioned in OSHA’s fall
protection rules, OSHA will accept a properly utilized
fall restraint system in place of a personal fall arrest
system when the restraint system is rigged so that
the worker cannot reach the fall hazard. In effect,
(if properly used) the system tethers a worker in a
manner that will not allow a fall of any distance. A
fall restraint system is comprised of a body belt or
body harness, an anchorage, connectors, and other
necessary equipment. Other components typically
include a lanyard, and may also include a lifeline
and other devices. Note: A self-retracting lanyard
is not appropriate for a fall restraint system unless
the worker cannot reach the fall hazard when the
lanyard is fully extended.

This video appears to be out of date. At one point, it shows a worker on top of a rail car using a body belt and a six-foot lanyard, walking less than two feet from the edge of the rail car, and describes the situation as fall restraint. BC law doesn't still allow use of waist belts, does it? This video should be removed until it's updated.
